M 56 competition

The reason is, the brakes and the tyres cannot handle speeds of more than 155 MPH ( 250 KM/HR ). It has nothing to do with being German.

They can handle well above that, they come with 368mm discs and 4 pot opposed piston callipers. Tuned I had 173mph out of mine and brakes and tyres were fine

The Japanese "V8" designs from Toyota (4.6, 5.0, 5.7) and Nissan (5.6) are all fake, plastic, junk, mechancially unchanged, based on V6, usually with the same bore and/or stroke, and even worse they have plastic parts added to it to protect it from the plastic hood.
Must be the reason why the Z, GT-R and their competitors (Supra and NSX) never use V8s...Literally...
The tires, brakes, sheetmetal are similar in quality/performance rating to, if not exactly the same, as those of an Altima or Maxima ...
Americans use their own clean-sheet V8s :)
another thing to note Mercedes and BMW also use fake V8s as well with their stupid exhaust notes, the 3.0 V6 and 3.2 I6 were used to create robotic "4.0 V8" and "4.4 V8" in 2015 and 2008, respectively...
Americans and Jaguar Land Rover are the only ones with real V8s left
ALSO, the M37 isn't much slower, it does the quartermile in 13.7sec@103mph, the M56 does it in 13.4sec@105mph ... both being RWD cars... the M35h averages 13.6sec@104mph
At the end of the day all three versions will top 173mph at most, if you're lucky :)
